Best Golfing Memory: Playing a practice round with a friend earlier this year, Tee shot on Par 3 Thirteenth, two bounces and in the cup, unfortunately it was a "mulligan" so not a hole in one. It felt like one?
Why I played: I could give many reasons for supporting the Help for Heroes. But to keep it short, How could you not. They deserve every penny this great event can raise. |

Best Golfing Memory: Scoring my best round of 2 over gross in the Help the Heroes Competition.
Why I played: It’s a great charity and our lads deserve this kind of support from the public. It was important to show support for our servicemen who are sacrificing everything in very difficult circumstances. It is becoming less newsworthy when Soldiers are losing their lives so it’s essential that the plight of relatives and those injured remains in the public eye so we don’t forget the issues they are facing. |
